To save y’all the trouble of Googling it, this is the new King Charles portrait:

First time I saw it I assumed it wasn’t real.

And the tampon comment references

True, no equivalence, but he is in court for falsifying business records, not for what he did with Stormy Danials.

Like Bill Clinton was impeached for lying to Congress and not getting a BJ in the Oval Office?

Perhaps similarities in Clinton-Trump, but also important difference. Senators could vote in impeachment based significantly on their thoughts about BJ. Doubt all 12 jurors will vote to convict unless they also believe he falsified business records.

Huh, I do hate obviously false eyelashes and Rep. Crockett’s in the picture look particularly bad. But it’s a comment that obviously shouldn’t have been made and Crockett’s comeback is pure gold.

Can we put AOC, MTG, Tlaib, and Gaetz in a hermetically sealed room? And them loose the key?

Seems fair, 2 nut balls from each side. The only losers are the press. They’ll get less clicks.

I’m a pretty big AOC fan, honestly. She can go a little too far, but I’d rather a progressive who oversteps than the fairly centrist bulk of the Democratic Party.

Tlaib, less so. She has good and bad takes. At least neither of them (_allegedly, lol_) trafficked a minor.

AOC seems to be more realistic to me.

There is “this is possible given existing constraints” and then there is “this is pie in the sky nonsense”.

She seems to be more in the former camp in terms of making societal improvements.

Huh… I would have said she is in the latter camp. I’m basing that on the Green New Deal.

One positive I will say about AOC is that I enjoy watching her grill people during Congressional hearings.

Yeah. People who live in glass houses (like MTG) shouldn’t throw stones.

Why the AOC hate?

Is it because she is:

a) woman  
b) opinionated  
c) both a and b
